The Search Criteria panel is where you define the Search for and the Search in values. The Search for value can be a project, experiment, protein formulation, experiment plate, well, well drop, well ingredient, region annotation, screen, or screen hits. Select what you are looking for in Search for, then click Browse. Then, browse a project, an experiment or even the whole folder from the search location, click and click OK. Your selected search location will appear in the Search in table. Next, click Search.

Search Criteria Panel

Advanced Button

The Advanced options contain two tabs that provide tools for more specific search queries:

• Search Constraint tab — The Search Constraint tab consists of the Constraints tab with two fields: Search Criteria for adding and removing constraints, and Search Fields for selecting the areas to define your search categories. ROCK MAKER uses these constraints to filter the database when you conduct a search, and you can apply multiple constraints to your search. Select the desired constraint(s) from the available list in the Search Fields and then click the Add Constraint button. You can use the Remove Constraint button, the Add AND button, and the Add OR button according to your needs, or select a specific date that corresponds to the data you are searching for. If you select the Use Latest Inspection Only option, only the latest image inspection will appear in your search result.

Or click the Remove Search Field button to remove the selected fields. Then, you can include or exclude a specific field for your search from the Field Name and click OK. If you select the Use Latest Inspection Only option, only the latest image inspection will appear in your search result.

Columns in this grid can be added dynamically by dragging fields from the Search Fields panel to the Search Results. Fields can be removed by dragging them out of the panel.
